Python program packaged as an. exe----Pyinstaller tool

1. Environment

Windows

2. Installation

Prepare file: PyWin32 or Pypiwin32

Run the following installation command: pip install Pyinstaller

3. Packaging

Copy. py or. pyw files to the directory where Pyinstaller resides

Execute command: pyinstaller-f xxx.py , the generated file will be automatically placed in the Dist directory, the file name defaults to Xxx.exe.

Common parameter Description:

-F: Package all the files into one. exe.

-D: Package all files into a directory containing executables and other files as required.

-N Name: renames the executable file.

-W: Open the packaged program and the command-line window will not pop up.

4. Individual file and directory comparisons

The directory is larger than the size of a single file;

The directory is faster to open than a single file.

Package on WIN7, put on XP, directory open failed , single file normal.

-i <FILE.ico or FILE.exe,ID or FILE.icns>, --icon=<FILE.ico or FILE.exe,ID or FILE.icns>
	FILE.ico:apply. Icon to a Windows executable. File.exe,id, extract the icon with ID from an EXE. FILE.icns:apply the icon to the. App bundle on Mac OS X

--version-file=FILE
	Add a version resource from FILE to the EXE
-m <FILE or XML>, --manifest=<FILE or XML>
